Create Your Vinyl Wristband

What Colors?

Our Vinyl Wristbands are made of durable vinyl with brilliant printing. We offer two types:

VinylTough®: waterproof, very durable, good for multiday events

VinylGo®: durable, good for 1 day use

Vinyl wristbands enable a cleaner print of your text and image.

Please note, black images only. Color or grayscale images will not print. To ensure clarity, make sure your black image is crisp with clean lines (high-resolution). All text is black. We can send a printed proof upon request.

Vinyl wristbands are made of durable polypropylene and printed with our high-speed thermal printer in black ink only. Grayscale images or text will not print.

Need something more custom? No worries! Email our Customer Support and we will quickly customize exactly the way you want it.

What Features?

Vinyl wristbands are printed in black ink (not grayscale) with thermal printers. Generally, they have better clarity, more distinct printing, and higher resolution than Tyvek® wristbands printed with inkjet printers.

Security

Wristbands – both Vinyl and Tyvek® – are very secure, as they are tamper-evident, non-transferrable and durable.

Quantity

The minimum order is 100 Wristbands. Of course, the price per Wristband decreases as the order gets larger.

These are either sent to the customer on a roll or in a fan folded stack (depending on order size). They are long strips of bands with perforations between each wb (end to end), not in sheets.

Size

The band is 10" maximum length with an approximately 1" tab where the adhesive is. This allows the wristband to be attached around any wrist size from the tiniest wrist up to a 9" maximum diameter.

Durability and Material

Durability

Vinyl wristbands are completely waterproof and can last several days. Like Tyvek®, they are also tamper evident and non-transferrable which prevents ticket fraud.

Material

Vinyl wristbands are made of polypropylene which is more durable than even Tyvek® and can last several days. Vinyl wristbands are printed with a thermal printer which allows for greater clarity and resolution. Note, we print our Vinyl Wristbands with black ink only – no gray scale. Tyvek® wristbands are made from Tyvek® which is a tough fabric and printed using inkjet technology.

How can I manage my event with crowd control wristbands?

Crowd control is about verification and efficiency. Wristbands enable quick verification of your paying patrons. They are non-transferrable and tamper-evident. Because it is a quick visual verification, having your ticket buyers wear wristbands enables higher checkpoint and transaction speeds.

How are our Wristbands secure?

Once you put on a wristband, Tyvek or Vinyl, it is difficult to take off and transfer to another person. In addition, because your specific text and logo are on the wristband, it is harder to copy. All of our wristbands are tamper-evident, non-transferrable and help you reduce ticket fraud.

What are the various uses of Event Wristbands?

The primary uses of Event Wristbands are proof of entry or ticket purchase to an event, or proof of ID verification for age restricted events or purchases. They can be used for music festivals, concerts, nightclubs, crowd control, all-inclusive resorts, conventions, parties, amusement parks, stadiums, camps, bars, hotels, restaurants, schools, day care centers, tour groups, crowd management, special privileges, catering, age ID, height restrictions, sporting events, and much more. Event Wristbands are convenient for any application where a visual means of identification is needed. Identify or verify your customer once and avoid the hassle and inconvenience of repeated verification.

Many clients order different colored Wristbands to indicate prices paid for admission, monitor access to events or special areas, designate different colors for certain days of multi-day events, or identify special entry by VIPs or contestants.

Can Event Wristbands be used as VIP Wristbands?

Of course! The uses of Event Wristbands are limited only by your imagination and are often used as VIP Wristbands! Our Vinyl wristbands can be printed with high quality and unique graphics that will show your commitment to giving each of your VIP's the best experience. All VIP Wristbands are secure, comfortable and allow your staff to quickly and easily identify who belongs in the special access VIP areas.

What is your turnaround time?

For orders under 10,000 printed wristbands, we can process your order within 2 business days. This is after you have submitted your order and approved your emailed proof. For each additional 10,000 wristbands, add one extra business day of processing time.

What design limitations does a Custom Wristband have?

When designing your Custom Wristband keep in mind that the printable area is roughly 7.5" x 0.85". We are not able to bleed the design beyond 0.85", even though the wristband is 1.0" in width. Custom Wristbands are great for any event because they are inexpensive, but can be tailored to match your events custom promotional material. Our friendly customer service representatives are ready to assist in designing your quality custom wristband.

How do I order Custom Wristbands?

You have two easy ways to order wristbands from Ticket Printing. First, you can choose either a Tyvek® or Vinyl wristband template, input the information you want on the wristband and checkout. Second, you can have us do it by using our custom design. Custom wristbands are also inexpensive and fast.

Can you print Wristbands that match my Tickets or Posters?

Given that our Wristbands are just under 1" wide there is limited surface area. However, we can work with you to print images and text that will help match your Tickets, Posters, and event branding.

Can I proof my wristbands?

We do proofing in two ways.

(1) If you choose a template, fill in the information you want on the wristband, and then checkout, the next screen is our 'View Proof'screen. Here you need to carefully check your wristband to ensure it is exactly what you want. You also have to select a checkbox explicitly approving your proof.

(2) If you chose our Custom Wristband Design, you are emailed an electronic proof of the Wristband, which must be reviewed and approved by you before we print your event's Wristbands. The electronic proof is sent via email and therefore is electronic in its form.

What is your minimum order of Wristbands?

The minimum order is 100 Wristbands. Of course, the price per Wristband decreases as the order gets larger.

These are either sent to the customer on a roll or in a fan folded stack (depending on order size). They are long strips of bands with perforations between each wb (end to end), not in sheets.

Do my Event Wristbands come numbered?

Wristbands ordered online are pre-numbered. The number is in black and located just beneath the adhesive. For orders 20,000 or less, the numbers will be sequential. For orders over 20,000, there may be a gap in the sequential numbers, but no numbers will be duplicated. Custom wristband orders can start with your desired number and appear anywhere on the wristband. For Custom Wristbands, please contact Customer Support. Email support@ticketprinting.com or phone 888-771-0809.

Are there any set up fees?

TicketPrinting.com has no set up fees, no plate fees, or hidden costs. The only cost in addition to the Wristband printing is the shipping charge necessary to get your order delivered to you.
